text_original: Probably both Pace and Wolsey knew that it was too late to do anything serious. Pace reported that the money of France and Spain was flowing on all sides, and was of opinion that the empire was " the dearest merchandise that ever was sold," and would prove " the worst that ever was bought to him that shall obtain it" Yet still he professed to have hopes, and even asked for money to enter the lists of corruption.
